Location
History
Nanjai Station serves the city of Tomioka in Gunma Prefecture and is operated by Jōshin Dentetsu on its Jōshin Line, 28.2 kilometres from the Takasaki terminus. It opened on 7 July 1897 and has been in operation ever since. The station has an island platform with two tracks, a wooden station building, and flush toilets fitted with warm-water bidet seats. Staffing is partial: the station is unattended on Sundays, alternate Saturdays and off-peak weekday hours. The station is also known for the many pulsatilla plants, a wild flower regarded as elusive, planted on its grounds.
Notes
Nanjai sits 112.05 kilometres from the nearest coastline at Odawara, making it the second-most inland passenger station in Japan after Kaise Station on the JR East Koumi Line — a difference of only 720 metres.
